Alarm clocks and fog save lives in Bakersfield
Bakersfield CHP public affairs officer Rick Odom urges earlier alarm times to beat Tule fog and increase safety. He notes about 500 winter accidents monthly, caused mainly by excessive speed in fog or rain, and offers practical tips on visibility, vehicle condition, spacing, and cautious driving in intersections. He explains using defroster, lights, wipers, and turning off heater or radio when visibility is poor. Reflector dots on freeways help locate exits, and drivers should avoid passes on two lane roads.
